Craig Warner Pearson
Craig passed away peace-
fully with his wife Nancy and
son Shane by his side Aug.
10, 2011, in Chico, after a
courageous struggle from the
effects of a stroke four years
ago. He was 56, born July 23,
1955, in Chandler, Ariz., to
Charles and Patricia Pearson
at Williams Air Force Base.
He remembered traveling
as a military family and liv-
ing in Honduras and Costa
Rica. He also lived in Rancho
Cordova, graduating from
Cordova High in 1973.
First and foremost, Craig
was an avid fisherman and
loved to frog gig. He said he
"couldn't believe it, that he
could get paid for fishing."
He then became a commer-
cial fisherman, .fishing in
Bodega Bay and in Fort
Bragg where he met his wife
Nancy (McKee) Pearson. Hav-
ing an interest in becoming a
merchant mariner, he en-
rolled in the Harry Lunde-
berg School of Seamanship in
Piney Point, Md. The Bodega
Bay Signal reported: "Craig
Pearson, a former Bodega
Bay trawl fisherman, re-
turned from taking classes in
able seamanship, lifeboat
and firefighting, graduating
top of his class just one point.
below the top scorer."
He sailed on the Sealift
Antarctic during the Persian
Gulf War. Following this,
Craig and Nancy moved to
Lake Almanor, where he
worked and fished at Plumas
Pines Resort as caretaker.
He was later employed by
Plumas County as a mainte-
nance worker II, working
and fishing another 10 years
until he had his stroke. He
never gave up, and his wife
and son Shane made sure he
was never alone during his
stay at Windsor Chico Creek
this last two years.
Craig and Nancy had a

DENTISTRY
****STRAIGHT TALK FOR THE CONSUMER****
Red gums that bleed around crowns, #5
Last week 1 told you about prevention of inflammation around your crowns and how this
was much better than having to correct it after the inflammation has already occurred.
We discussed how the referral process breaks down and often does not happen. The
result of this is that many dentists simply place the margin (edge) of the crown below
the gum line and the result of this is chronic inflammation that is called latrogenic
Periodontitis, or periodontal disease caused by the dentistry.
Prevention of this occurrence is essentially 100% predictable and successful provided the
necessary procedures are done correctly. One way, as mentioned last week, is to provide
a surgical procedure called Crown Lengthening Surgery. This moves the surrounding
tissues away from the defect that needs to be included under the crown and thus allows
placing the final edge of the crown above the skin thus preventing the condition.
Another way to achieve this is through the use of predictable adhesive techniques. This
allows us to correct any defect below the skin level even near the bone, and then place
the final edge of the crown, you guessed it, above the gum line rather than below. How
does this work? Well, since the vast majority of studies regarding this situation show that
bacteria are the primary culprit in causing this inflammation, if we create a restoration
that has zero gaps between it and the tooth, bacteria cannot grow in a gap for it is not
there. Interestingly, no matter how near perfect one makes the conventional crown, there
is always at least a 50-micron gap between the edge of the crown and the tooth (this gap
is preventable with the use of adhesion when fabricating the modern crown). However,
in the usual crown cementation process, it is cemented with cement (I know that is a
redundant statement but it is true). This cement is porous and therefore it maintains
microenvironments that support the growth of bacteria. And that is on a crown that is
nearly perfect, which is not the usual case. Another microenvironment that is often
created when we place crowns on teeth is poor fit, which can be in the form of shape of
the crown (i.e. being too big for the tooth which is really quite common) or an overhang
(also way too common an occurrence), which really creates a problem. Even an under
fit, a crown that is does not match the preparation of the tooth, is a problem and creates
an environment for the growth of bacteria. Well, what if we could create an edge to a
restoration that has no gaps and rdally does fit perfectly? Would that work below the
gum line? The answer to this is yes it can, but it MUST be essentially perfect, if we
could do this, we could place this restoration below the gum line without negative conse-
quence, and then place the edge of our new crown, you guessed it, above the gum[ This
would again prevent the condition we are talking about. Clean Dentistry is what I call
this approach. Every dentist should make this the ultimate goal for all of their patients.
That is what I have done for the last 30 years and the difference it makes is remarkable.
Recently we have perfected the ability to create these restorations mentioned above and
prior to that, I provided many crown lengthening procedures prior to making crowns
for my patients, thus preventing iatrogenic periodontitis and now, using the technique
mentioned above, we do less surgery. But the goal is always the same: Make sure that
when the crown is placed on the tooth and finished, there is no subsequent inflammation.
This is what good dentistry is all about, truly caring enough for your patients that you go
far out into advanced techniques so you can provide Clean Dentistry for them. It really is
about how much do you care?!!

Plumas Unified
School District
Fiscal Update
to Parents
Superintendent PUSD
Glenn Harris
Dear Parents,
Our school district's business office is actively working in three different fiscal
years...we are closing out 2010/11, currently working in 2011/12, and are already
beginning the budgeting process for 2012/13. At any given time, the budget is based
on factors that are currently known or projected. For this reason, our budgets are
constantly changing, A prime example of this is the projection for local (tax) revenue.
When we prepared our 2011/12 adopted budget back in May, we used our best
estimation of tax collections for the 2011/12 fiscal year. We use various sources of
information to make our best "estimation", including current economic forecasts, artd
preliminary estimates from Plumas County officials. At that time, we projocted a local
revenue loss of 2% over the 2010/11 fiscal year. Recent communications with our
Plumas County Tax Assessor reveal that the actual revenue loss is projected to be
approximately 5.3%. Additionally, some of the components of the local taxes, such
as timber yield, are very unpredictable. As a result, we budget conservatively. A 6%
budget reduction is not unreasonable given what we currently know. Applying an
additional 4% reduction to the 2% factor we used in May will result in an additional
revenue decrease in excess of $665,000. In the absence of any other budgetary changes,
this has the potential to drive our current year projected deficit spending from $4.3
million to nearly $5 million dollars!
In December we will present our 1 st Interim budgets to our Governing Board. We
can be sure of many changes from the Adopted Budget presented in June. Those
changes will include the newly revised revenue projections, payroll projections based
on current staffing (rather than anticipated staffing levels used in May), 2010/11 fiscal
year carryover amounts, and updates to all revenue sources. Additionally, the multi-year
projections will be affected by these changes, as current year projections provide the
basis for our multi-year projections.
Our school finances are ever-changing, and as we move forward in 2011/12, we are
ever mindful of our obligation to be good custodians of public funds. We are actively
engaged in reviewing all our resources, expenditures, programs, and practices, and seek
ways to significantly reduce our costs while providing a quality education to our most
precious resource - the students of Plumas County.
Sincerely,
Yvonne Bales, Chief Business Official - PUSD
